Get ready, gifters, because there’s a white elephant in the room, and for once, it’s a good thing!

13. Archie McPhee Horse Head Squirrel Feeder ($12): More horse heads! If you haven’t seen this ridiculous thing going viral, it’s time to get in the know. It’s a squirrel feeder shaped like a horse head, so it looks like the squirrel is a mini-horse when he’s snacking. Amazing.

24. Sriracha 2 Go Original Keychain (14): Are you that person always asking for a bottle of Sriracha at the table? We feel you. And so does this new company that’s offering keychain-sized Sriracha bottles just for you! At $7 a pop, these empty keychain bottles (you fill ‘em yourself) seem steep, but also terribly handy.

29. Tequila Mockingbird by Tim Federle (15):Put down the basic margarita because this book contains 65 *different* tequila recipes paired with classic literary commentary. So good.

30. Prank Pack Blankeez Gift Box ($12):They’ll be SO excited. Or disappointed. Who knows, really. The point is that you can put literally anything in this box and then watch their expression change when they discover it’s not an actual 8-person blanket. LOL.

34. Cost Plus World Market Flamingo String Lights ($10): There is no rhyme or reason for this gift other than to celebrate the awesomeness that is the flamingo. Flamingos are festive and always ready to party, so this just makes sense.
